Melbourne Victory 1-2 Manchester United

53′ Telles, interestingly, is playing at centre-back alongside Bailly. Will be interesting to see how the defender, normally at left-back, deals with any attacks from Melbourne, which don’t look like happening any time soon.

52′ So we have Malacia and Laird playing at full-back, Savage, Iqbal and Van de Beek in midfield, and a front three of Rashford, Amad and Chong up front.

So far United are just keeping the ball and trying to get the second-half team settled in. Iqbal and Savage looking comfortable in midfield again.

So apart from goalkeeper Heaton, the entire United team has changed.

It is now Heaton, Bailly, Rashford, Malacia, Amad, Telles, Van de Beek, Laird, Chong, Savage and Iqbal on the field.

We’re still trying to work out who exactly is playing where.

No changes for Melbourne.

Half-time: Melbourne Victory 1-2 Manchester United

We are seeing a bunch of subs being made for United, including Rashford, Iqbal and Van de Beek all coming on.

The second half is about to get underway.

The whistle goes straight after Melbourne kick-off, and the Australians will be trying to work out exactly what went wrong for them at the end of that half.

For 40 minutes United’s passed patiently as they looked to find the equaliser to the hosts’ shock opener after seven minutes.

But they were eventually rewarded with McTominay’s deflected shot giving them the leveller, before Martial smuggled it in from close range after a low cross by the impressive Dalot.

45′ It’s Dalot’s cross into the area which causes all the problems. The pace of the ball in meant it was difficult to deal with, and eventually it fell for Martial with the goal right in front of him.

He wasn’t going to miss. He put it in the bottom corner and now United are ahead.
